A quiet lane beneath the Downs
Fuse Box Replacement in Alciston
A lane leaves the A27 and heads south towards the foot of the Downs to reach Alciston, a small village whose medieval tithe barn stands among the farm buildings.

Farmhouses, cottages, outbuildings
A handful of homes, each wired differently
In a village this size there is no typical house. Older cottages and farmhouses each carry their own wiring history, and in rural parishes like this one, barns and outbuildings are often converted or put to new uses. Some boards date from when a property was last modernised; others have been extended with extra fuses or add-on units as workshops, stores and annexes were connected.
We map every circuit before we start, including any supply running out to a separate building. Those sub-mains need suitable protection at the house end and often a small board of their own at the far end, which we price clearly so there are no surprises on the day.
- Sub-mains to barns and outbuildings checked
- Annexe boards priced up front
- Every circuit traced and labelled
- Whole property tested and certified

Ready for a heat pump or new heating
Small downland villages away from the main roads are often off the gas grid, relying on oil, LPG or electric heating. If you are weighing up a heat pump, the installer will need a spare protected way on your board and a supply that can carry the extra load. An old fuse box usually rules that out, which is why many owners replace it first.
Leaving room to grow is the idea: a full RCBO unit with 10 or 12 ways costs £695 and lets a heat pump, heating controls or an EV charger join later without changing the board again. Out here TT earthing is common on rural supplies, and any earth rod you rely on gets tested during the board change.
- Spare ways for heat pumps and chargers
- Earth rod tested on TT supplies
- Type 2 surge protection included
- Building Control notified under Part P
Getting to you
Getting to Alciston
The drive from Brighton & Hove runs east along the A27, past Lewes and the Firle turning, before we leave the main road for Alciston, which lies north of Seaford. Photos of the board get you a fixed quote, after which you pick the date. When a fault is urgent, give us a ring, as a visit that same day is often possible.

Alciston questions
Asked in Alciston
Still not sure?
Call for a straight answer from an installer, not a call centre.
Call 0333 360 8691Yes. We check that the cable feeding the outbuilding is correctly sized and protected, then replace the house board and the remote board in one visit where both need it. You receive a single Electrical Installation Certificate covering the work, and Building Control is notified under Part P in the usual way.
Not always bigger, but it does need a dedicated circuit with the right protection. We check your main fuse, meter tails and board capacity, and if the network supply needs upgrading we explain how to ask UK Power Networks. Planning the board change around the heat pump saves paying for the same work twice.
No. Our prices are fixed and identical anywhere in Sussex, whether you live in central Brighton or at the end of a country lane. The quote you get from your photos is the price you pay, unless testing uncovers a hidden fault that you then choose to have put right.
